Tai Chi: Ten Minutes to Health

One of the best books ever on the Tai Chi long form. Whilst it is a fairly old publication it is timeless. The steps are clear and concise. This book has more information per page than any other book I have read and DVD I have seen. It is worth every cent and is totally under estimated and under valued!

Wonderful book for the self-taught

The illustrations and pictures showing the position of the hands and feet are VERY useful to those self-teaching. Far more so than most books and videos on this subject. However, over and over I found that reference to the words and meaning of the introduction was essential to the learning process and answered issues such as breathing and martial arts potential of the exercise

Very detailed Long Form

This book has great instructions on the movements of the Yang Style LONG Form. The one problem is that there is no discussion of the martial application of the form.

best book so far

this book gives detailed illustrations. It still misses on how to breath. But this is the best i have seen, including videos. Something is always left out of all them. This book is easy to follow and helps illustrate proper positioning of arms and legs.
